Dao / Tao and Buddha-nature Study

Dao is the root and essence of all things (including the major religious/ethical teachings). Therefore, in learning Dao, we also study the classics of the major religious teachings, especially Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Just as Buddha and other enlightened Saints and Sages have realized, we must also recognize, realize and manifest our own True Nature as the way to enlightenment and nirvana.
